Sports driving position

From a low sports driving position, you’ll really feel the road surface beneath you and sense how the car responds to the slightest steering input.
Flexible space

A practical 60:40 split folding rear seat comes standard on RC models. Offering the convenience of an estate car, but with the grace and refinement of a sports coupé, when the rear seats folded down there’s room to carry bulkier objects.
Smart entry

Approach the RC with the key in your pocket and both door handles gently illuminate to greet you, unlocking when touched. Beautifully sculpted, they have no keyhole, a world-first for this kind of door handle.
Leather heated steering wheel

A beautifully crafted leather steering wheel features finger rests and a cross section optimised to fit comfortably in your hands. For added comfort in colder conditions, the steering wheel can be heated.

Fitted with Vehicle Dynamics Integrated Management and powerful ventilated disc brakes, the new RC is engineered to help you avoid danger.
Available in petrol and hybrid

Powered by pioneering Full Hybrid or petrol turbo drivetrains, the RC delivers exceptional response, combined with astonishing agility.

With its driver-focused cockpit, muscular styling and beautifully crafted interior, the Lexus RC is an irresistible balance of high performance and pure refinement. If ever a sports coupé was engineered to stir the soul, the RC may just be the one to do it.

ADVANCED AERODYNAMICS

Thanks to a near-flat underbody and tiny winglets on the front door pillars, the aerodynamics of the RC are tuned for precise steering and a more engaging drive. First seen on F1 racing cars, the winglets create air vortices that help pull the airstreams inwards, improving the way the RC cuts through the air.
